Sometimes a mood is more important than lighting (not often but it does happen). In many ways, the more muted colours suit the scene, especially with the tilt away from the plane of focus. You could even exaggerate the muted colours and desaturate, with an increased contrast to give an older feel to the image or even convert to B&W with very high contrast.How do you find the LB warming polariser? I used to have one with my Cokin filter adaptor, but only have the reverse grad now I'm using Lee filters.

Thanks. I find the LB warming polariser a very good kit not only for boosting colours but also for adding another stop of light, that is, if you intend to prolong exposure a bit more. Unlike most polarisers, it only has lower filter factor(around 1 f/stop only). I would have loved to go exclusively on Lee Filters but Lee doesn't produce Reverse ND grads. For this reason, I combine a Cokin Z-Pro filter holder + Singh Ray and Lee when stacking filters and so far it works for me.

When I had the Cokin P, I had the Singh-Ray reverse grad and LB warming polariser. A couple of months ago, I finally got my replacement reverse grad for the Lee set (after selling the smaller one, along with the polariser), but have only had a chance for one shoot with it so far. I decided not to go for the LB warming polariser this time.

Not using a Flash to fill, allowing just the light from the welding torch was the making of this shot, good decision, made the shot.

Thank You. Oddly, I did have a flash in my bag that day. This is in the NYC new 911 Call Center. A full 11 story construction site. I did consider the flash because it was dark but the light would have been wrong and distracted the worker. I wedged myself into a beam and took about 6 exposures. This one was the shortest shutter speed. I really thought the slower speeds would allow more streaks but they just blurred together. I did learn one good lesson cheap. I almost changed lenses here. glad I didn't. at the end of the day my camera and bag were covered in dust, grit and concrete dust and who knows what else. The weather sealing on the camera and lens stopped all that crap from getting into bad places. This is where L lenses pay off too. but most importantly, don't change lenses in bad places. This would have been a sensor cleaning at least. Thanks for the complimnets
